Funeral wreaths are popular choices of decorative features at a visitation and formal service. There are a number of designs, shades, and flower choices available including synthetic or fresh. Taking the time to build your own wreath range can save a great deal on expenses and offers a personalized alternative.

A wreath is a gesture of respect and serves to honor the memory of the deceased. It can include many different colors and even flowers that were favored by the person who has passed on. Tones and styles can be selected according to the season and create a beautiful theme for the proceedings.

For flowers that do not include the desired color or tone, it can be dyed or sprayed to represent the desired style. The items that need to be purchased for decorative purposes include a foam wreath, flower pins, fresh or synthetic flowers, a glue gun, wiring, and ribbon. The ribbon will need to include a broader width allowing for a loop around the ring and over the sides.

Flowers should be pinned to the wreath surface for security. The flower wiring should be used to pin the different decorative features including pine cones and natural elements. The ring should be filled with the different items and may be glued or pinned with the soft wires.

The stems of artificial and natural flowers should be pushed into the foam. Modern solutions include the addition of personal messages, decorative features, and natural pieces. The ring needs to be filled with glue, wiring, and pins.

There is the choice of purchasing ready made funeral wreaths for the ceremony. It is a good idea to determine whether the wreath range can be personalized to meet individual needs and interests. The costs should be considered to ensure that a valuable and affordable decision is made to honor the memory of a loved one or close friend.
